More data on segfaulting problem

[Matthew Dillon]

    I think you must have caught it before Joerg fixed the errno issue
    that occured when errno became a TLS variable.

    When access() fails it tries to set errno via TLS, and the TLS
    segment has not been set.

    Try recompiling your rtld-elf with the latest code.
